Raw would start with Daniel Bryan vs Wade Barrett. The beginning was weird because when Raw began Daniel Bryan was on his way to the ring and Wade Barrett was already in the ring. Brad Maddox was the special referee. The match didn't last too long. Wade Barrett would roll Daniel up and Brad Maddox made a fast count.
The next match was Randy Orton vs Damien Sandow and Cody Rhodes was on commentary. Before the match began Sandow handcuffed the briefcase to the ring post. At the end Cody would distract Sandow by trying to get the briefcase and Orton was able to hit the RKO for the win. The match was ok but it happened a few weeks ago with the same outcome.
The next match was The Great Khali and Natalya vs Big E and AJ. This match was short. At one point Natalya had AJ in the sharpshooter and she tapped out but the referee didn't call for the bell. Natalya would go for the sharpshooter again, AJ would tap and the the referee called for the bell. Big E and Khali never even fought during the match so it should've just been a singles divas match. After the match Big E would attack Khali but Khali threw him out of the ring. The match wasn't that good and after the match made no sense so this was pointless. It would've made more sense if Big E attacked Khali and Ziggler came out to save Khali. Then AJ would attack Ziggler which would let Kaitlyn come out and attack AJ.


Next, Vince McMahon would come out and ask that Brad Maddox come out. Maddox would come out and apologize for what he did in the first match and ask that Vince would give him a second chance by allowing him to be the special referee in the Bryan and Cena match. Vince would say yes but Triple H would come out and say that he would be the special referee in the match and then he would hit Maddox with a pedigree.
The next match was Kane vs Titus O'Neil. This was a short match and Kane was able to pick up the victory after hitting him with a chokeslam. After the match the Wyatt family would come out to attack Kane but when the lights came back on Kane had gone to the top of the ramp and would do his pyro.
The next match was Alberto Del Rio vs Kofi Kingston. The match was good and Del Rio was able to make Kofi tap to the cross arm breaker.
Next match was The Real Americans vs the Usos. Zeb Colter would try to distract the referee but the Usos were still able to pick up the victory after hitting a splash.
Up next would be MizTV with John Cena and Daniel Bryan. Bryan would say that John Cena, this was just another SummerSlam but for Bryan it was the biggest match of his life. He would also say that Cena was a parody of wrestling. Cena would slap Bryan but Triple H would come to the ring and make sure that they didn't get into a fight. Randy Orton would come out to the top of the ramp and hold up his briefcase. This was an awesome segment and did a great job hyping up their match at SummerSlam.
Up next Fandango would come out for a match with R-Truth. R-Truth would interrupt Fandangos enterance. The match never got started and it turned into a dance contest. Then a fight started and Fandango was on the losing end.


The main event of the night was a 20-man battle royal and the winner would face Dean Ambrose for the United States championship on the SummerSlam pre-show. During the match R-Truth eliminated Fandango who came back in and eliminated R-Truth. It seems there might be a rivalry between these two which I am not looking forward to. The last two left were Mark Henry and RVD. RVD was able to eliminate Henry and win. After the match the Shield would come down and surround the ring. Mark Henry would re-enter the ring. Before the Shield could attack Big Show would return and come into the ring and the Shield would retreat. The match was good and after the match was a good way to return the Big Show. It seems that it will be Big Show and Mark Henry vs the Shield for the tag team championships.
Paul Heyman would come out and announce that challenging Punk to a match was a trap. Brock Lesnar would come out and Paul would challenge Punk to a handicap match. Punk would come from behind and attack Lesnar with a camera that he took from one of the cameramen. He would then go after Heyman but Curtis Axel would come out and let Heyman escape. Punk would then hit Axel with a GTS.
This was a good Raw and it did a good job hyping SummerSlam. There were some matches that weren't that good. Natalya vs Brie Bella was made for SummerSlam. I'm not looking forward to this match that much but it's nice to see there are two divas matches. The ring of fire match between Kane and Bray Wyatt will not have anyone catch on fire. Also I think RVD vs Dean Ambrose should have been on the main show because these two will probably put on a great match.
